Argentina Polo Day

What Argentina Polo Day does

Argentina Polo Day is a privately held Argentine experiential tourism and hospitality company founded in 2009, operating from Estancia La Carona, a 42-hectare property in Capilla del Señor, Buenos Aires Province, approximately 70 km from Buenos Aires. The company offers a portfolio of polo experiences — Full Polo Day, Polo Night, Polo Holidays (multi-day programs), and corporate/social events — supported by a Polo Club membership program, a Half Polo Day shortened experience, and a Polo Shop e-commerce store for branded apparel and polo equipment. Its most differentiated physical asset is reportedly the only professionally illuminated arena (sand-based) polo field in Argentina, enabling nightly play and weather-independent scheduling; the property also includes two grass polo fields, 150+ polo horses, a 100-seat indoor restaurant (La Pulpería), a 300-seat outdoor reception area (Polo Deck), and a swimming pool.

The business operates year-round (365 days, closing only December 25 and January 1) and serves four primary customer segments: international tourists visiting Buenos Aires, corporate groups (law firms, investment banks, multinationals, embassies, chambers of commerce), polo players and enthusiasts seeking intensive training, and families/couples celebrating social occasions. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer via the company website, WhatsApp, email, and phone, with no third-party marketplace resellers; B2B flow is handled by a dedicated events team. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with payment terms including 50% deposits for corporate events. The company has received the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for 14 consecutive years, was declared of Cultural Interest by the Province of Buenos Aires, received the Marca País distinction in 2022, and became the first Argentine company certified in sustainable tourism by Biosphere.

Argentina Polo Day is co-owned and operated by founders Rubén Jabib and Celia Alfie, with a small team (11-50 employees). The company has operated continuously for 17+ years without external institutional investment, has no parent company or holding structure, and runs a hybrid physical-asset / content-marketing / direct-sales model funded by sponsorships from brands including Aperol, Cinzano, La Martina, Doña Paula, Pampa Gourmet, and others. A recent strategic alliance with Mapfre (February 2026) signals continued commercial evolution, though no app, API, AI capabilities, or external funding rounds are present.

• Estancia Santa Susana: Historic estancia in Buenos Aires province offering day-trip tours with horseback riding, folkloric performances, and traditional cuisine — directly competing for international tourists seeking authentic Argentine countryside experiences within reach of Buenos Aires.
• Estancia El Colibrí: Argentine estancia near Buenos Aires offering day experiences with horseback riding, traditional asado, and gaucho culture — directly comparable to Argentina Polo Day's Full Polo Day offering and competing for the same inbound tourist segment.
